Want to make an fancy pop-up window: HELP

[IgorV]

Hey ladies and gents,

Okay so my mission is to make a fancy pop-up (onload pop-up) for my homepage.

A perfect example of what I'm looking for is exactly like the Dynamic "Image Lightbox Viewer" except instead of an image to have a small window and to have opacity background. BUT if it has to be an image (since i dont want frames or anything) that is fine too just as long as i can get it to go on a page load.

So basically on my homepage load, this beautiful window pops up and yeah. Can someone help me please? I tried myself but no success. :(

This site will create the code for you... http://www.echoecho.com/toolpopupgenerator.htm however it's set up as "onclick"... I'm wondering if you can just do an "onload" instead. You could experiment with it and try... if that doesn't work...someone here will surely know :)

That or search out some **** and look at the source... granted it may take you 15 minutes to close out all the pop ups before you can see it :)

yeah i found that before but that only gives me a window. I dont want a typical Microsoft window, i want a flash look alike window.

here is a exact example of what i meant. www.surveymonkey.com (http://www.surveymonkey.com) and just click on "MEMBER LOGIN"...you'll see what i mean.

Take a look at the script John wrote here:

He's still developing it, but the code is usable now or you could wait until he has a more complete version.

Have you tried Dynamic Drive's Facebox (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/facebox/index.htm)? You can put the contents of your homepage popup in an external file, and call it automatically like so:

jQuery.facebox('homepage_popup.html')
It doesn't have the darkened background, but I think would work very well otherwise.
